But few persons in America, or even in
England as far as that goes, are acquainted
with the real reason why Queen Victoria
has so persistently bOycOtted the Irish
portion of her dominions. 1t appears
that years ago, shortly after the prince
consort's death, the Dublin corporation
refused point blank to grant site for the
purpose of erecting monument 70 his
memory. Queen Victoria was deeply
"a ffronted at the time, and vowed then
that she would not visit ireland while she
lived. During her fifty years. reign she
has only visited the screen Isle" once.
